Before purchasing a Vortech power backup battery for my aquarium prior to a 2-week trip, I have a question about its effectiveness in oxygenating the tank. If the MP10 pump is submerged 2 to 3 inches below the water level, would the single MP10 (on the battery backup) provide sufficient...

The toadstool leather coral is not fully open but here is a shot taken today.

Thank you. I think I will be focusing more on acropora corals for now. RIP OG bounce 2023 March

Update: March 19 After a 5-hour blackout, the corals experienced some stress/deaths, but after about 10 days, things are starting to look better. Last night, the PO4 level was 0.2 ppm, however, my acroporas are looking healthier than they did when I kept the level at 0.01 - 0.05 ppm. I guess I...

Good news: RTN has stopped on this Walt Disney, but the few emergency frags from yesterday did not make it. Do you think this was caused by pathogenic bacteria (or germs)? I'm thinking about using Cipro to treat the tank. In addition, I intend to include Dr. Tim's Eco-Balance, which claims to...

Thank you for pointing that out; I had no idea it was so high. :) I stopped the weekly dose of 5 ml of Seachem iodine and performed two 10% water changes.

10 days ago - I received my ICP results. Iodine - very high Nitrate - very high @33ppm. My Salifert testkit gave me the result of 20 - 25ppm (tested at the same time as the ICP ), so purchased Hanna no3 tester. Manganese - a little low Vanadium - a little low Zinc - a little low 5 days ago -...

Here is a shot taken today before the end of the year 2022. I cleaned up all 4 sides of the glass, moved all the visible snails and hermits into a ditch :), and turned off all the living room lights. The shot was taken with Sony full frame + 50mm 1.4 with a brown filter.

Since 2005 I have not seen a coral pinker than pink boobies chalice under bluer light. There are different variants that are not as vibrant, the original one has yellow-green eyes.

Throwback pic. I really miss this tank before the crash.

Pending. Thanks.

Sending a message now :)

I love this fish (I got it from the Aquatic collection about two months ago) but it started to nip my acros and zoas. The fish is waiting for a new owner in an in-tank container. Pick up in 95014.

I lost all of my fish. Here is the current fish list: True percular pair (Medium size) Six line wrasse (small size) Azure damsel (medium size) Saphire Damsel (small size) Black bar Chromis (small size) Tail spot blenny (small size) Flame hawk (medium size) Royal Gramma (small size) 9 fish...

Update 12/19/22: PO4: It has been reasonably consistent with 0.02 ppm daily dosing (via top-off) but I think I should feed more, add more fish, or dose more. Leaning toward adding more fish :) NO3: Looks like the bio-media in the canister filter finally has a stable population of anaerobic...

Thank you for the advice. I will definitely do that. I wish I could have a dedicated tank for it but I just don't have the space and time for it yet. I will let you know when I decide to cut it!! The seller said it is from Biota (Ultra Green Toadstool Leather).

I have been busy with work and kids but testing PO4, NO3, ALK twice a week. So far so good. Anyone interested in a large fresh cut toadstool? I am planning to cut the shaded area which will be at least 6" x 6". The tank has been doing weel.

This is very sad, sorry about the trouble!!
